Why We Love Cold Brew
Although specialty coffee over the last decade has slowly embraced the merits of cold brew, there was a time when cold brew was a specialty faux pas. That was about the time when we opened Tala, and unashamedly planted our flag on the team cold brew.
Los Ancestros: Huehuetenango, Guatemala
This coffee simply put, tastes like everything we love about the fall season. It’s loaded with brown sugar, caramel, and candied pecan sweetness, soft and ripe pear and apple, as well as warm and cozy cocoa. It pairs perfectly with a hayrides, pumpkin carving, apple picking, and bonfires.
San Diego Mills: Tarrazu, Costa Rica
We love this coffee because it really embodies the transition of the last of the summer turning into fall. Fresh and ripe fruit flavors of raspberry, cherry, passion fruit, and guava on the front end of each sip transition and finish with warm and comforting flavors of praline and milk chocolate. This uniquely sweet coffee is perfect for cool mornings as well as warm afternoons.

Summer Menu 2020
Our spring menu launch was delayed a few weeks due to COVID-19, but we’re excited it’s finally here! We have several exciting drinks to introduce to you. You will notice some returning drinks and some new. Overall we wanted to bring exciting, refreshing and comfort to the table with this menu. With the shelter-in-place we definitely think these spring drinks will be the excuse you need to get in your car and take a lap out of the house.

Altos De Marfil: Loja, Ecuador
This is the coffee you wait to wake up to in the morning. Altos De marfil is a fantastic balanced and approachable coffee that both a common coffee drinker and a coffee connoisseur will enjoy. This is our first offering from Ecuador and our first offering for Caravella Importers. Expect pleasant notes of fudge with a well-rounded body and a golden raisin tang acidity.
Cold Brew Draft Lattes
We are so excited to announce that we now serve Cold Brew Draft Lattes in the our cafe. These are the perfect solution to keep you caffeinated all week long, even when you can’t make it out for your coffee run.
